A new study shows that moms are turning to their teenage daughters for style advice these days. Take a quick trip to the Forever 21 store in Lakeside Shopping Center, and you’ll see that in action.

AP PhotoYouthful appearance? A Daily Mail story called out celebs, including Demi Moore, pictured here with Ashton Krutcher, for styles that could often be mistaken for their daughters. "From their trendy clothing to their groomed tresses the similarities are uncanny."

The study, by a Temple University Fox School of Business professor, found that mothers look to their daughters for makeup and clothing inspiration, and as a result the adults’ buying habits mimic the teens.

Appearing in the Journal of Consumer Behavior, the study calls the phenomenon "the consumer doppelganger effect." Dr. Ayalla A. Ruvio, the lead author, writes that the moms' behavior "provides initial support for the notion of reverse socialization and suggests that the impact adolescents have on their parents is much more profound than has been credited to them."

As for influence, the British Daily Mail, in a story about the study, called out Carole Middleton, Sarah Ferguson and Demi Moore for styles that
could often be mistaken for their daughters. "From their trendy
clothing to their groomed tresses the similarities are uncanny."

Also making headlines around the fashion and beauty beat today are several tributes to Amy Winehouse’s signature style. The woman knew how to work a beehive and some wicked eyeliner.

“Winehouse's 1950s chic and sky-high beehive hairdo inspired designers like Karl Lagerfeld,” wrote Lindsay Goldwert of the New York Daily News. “Her winged eyeliner and retro dress style preceded the "Mad Men" '60s style craze. Her look, tattooed biker chick meets '60s girl group The Shangi-La's, made a big impact on the fashion world and propelled her onto the pages of Elle, Marie Claire and Vanity Fair.”
